I forgot about the World of Coke and the Aquarium. Duh.

Interesting to note that there are apparently no black people here to answer the question of whether Stone Mountain is a recreation destination for black people.

Oh - the PR company that did the Opening Day campaign at the beginning was fired shortly after launch and I was shocked they continued with that maddening of a slogan. Seriously? Opening Day? Thats the best we can come up with?

And because I like statistics, I looked for the ranking of the most visited/popular attractions in Atlanta just for you:

* Atlanta - Martin Luther King Jr National Historic Site
* Atlanta - World of Coca-Cola
* Atlanta - Fernbank Museum of Natural History
* Atlanta - Georgia Aquarium
* Atlanta - High Museum of Art
* Atlanta - Historic Oakland Cemetery
* Atlanta - Rhodes Hall
* Atlanta - Stone Mountain Park
* Atlanta Botanical Garden
* Atlanta History Center

Unfortunately the way the schools are here in Georgia, no one, black OR white know the history of Stone Mountain, so everyone can get away with it :) This coming from someone educated in the North, thankyouverymuch, so Lord knows I don't know anything about anything.

I like the idea of the airport smelling better. You KNOW that is because they are making you take your shoes off, Lucas.

I traveled from Atlanta to Tokyo to Beijing and back last month, and you can leave your shoes on at both Narita and Beijing Capital. Viva la Asia/Communism!

(but they did tear apart my backpack looking for a lighter in Beijing. little did they know I had one in my bra. touche, China)

The last time I went hiking up there, September or so, I saw a lot of black folks on the mountain. I’m pretty sure it’s not really that big of a deal…anymore, at least.

As a former GA Studies teacher I say come on down! We’ll have a good time.
